In my case, I wanted to have DVD Rips and videos to show up in one
place, and the easiest place is in 'Watch Recordings', at least for
us. So I wrote a script that scans my video directory and adds records
to the recorded table. I use a specific naming convention so my script
can parse them out and categorize them correctly. I know it's not
recommended to do it, but it works for me, and I don't complain when
it breaks (not that it has). It's pretty raw, and I'd be loathe to
share it, for a number of reasons.
